RDP 3.82 - Windows 2008 Answer File Error

When I try to deploy 2008 I get the following error.
"windows could not apply the Windows PE bootstrap setting specified in the unattend answer file"
I click OK and the Altiris DAgent window says the "Client Record Updated" and sits there.
Attached is the XML file.
This is a new install of RDP 3.82 and all other imaging and capturing is working correctly.
Any pointers would be great.
Cheers.

Can't see any errors in your unattended file. so it has to be the winpe boot enviroment.

try regenerating the winpe...

Thanks.

I have regenerated my boot and same error.
I will try again.

So I tried with xml files that I capture, using RDP Capture Windows 2008 Sysprep Image {WinPE}, also.
When I try and read the xml file with System Image Manager I get and error saying "Details: Line 1: Unknown settting attribute xmlns". Attached is the unattend.xml.
I am not having any luck here.

Hi.. took a closer look at your unattended file i saw the error. Somewhere along the way the unattended file was edited in say notepad that didn't support the structure of the XML file and all the info was saved on a single line. So I Recommend you to make a new unattended file and i hope you have copies of the original RDP unattended backuped so that you have some thing to start with...

Use the System Image Manager to make your changes and don't edit the file in any thing other than that...

Thanks. I opened it in notepad edited it then saved it.
I am using an xml editor now.

That helped me out big time and I am not getting that error now.
